Four people have been injured in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) explosion at Ntranoa, near Cape Coast, in the Central Region.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the explosion occurred after the victims filled an LPG cylinder and attempted to connect it to a burner.
A faulty valve seal caused a gas leak, which ignited upon contact with a naked flame.
The victims sustained varying degrees of burns.
A team from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) Central Regional Headquarters Substation responded swiftly to the scene to rescue the injured.
They were handed over to the National Ambulance Service for transportation to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital.
The fire crew safely disposed of the remaining gas in the cylinder to prevent further danger.
